There are many benefits of choosing Quartz Countertops in Albany, NY, for kitchens and bathrooms that see high traffic. Some of these benefits include:
Color and Style Variation – Quartz countertops come in a wide variety of colors with random patterns of flecks, swirls, sparkles, and veining which makes it almost indistinguishable from natural stone.
Durability – Arguably the most robust choice, quartz is made from one of the hardest minerals on earth with a rating of seven on the Mohs scale. For reference, diamonds are the hardest mineral and have a score of ten.
Low-Maintenance – Because of the use of resins in binding, the quartz countertops are non-porous, meaning they don’t require sealing, are scratch and stain resistant, and anti-microbial.
Design-Friendly – The polyester resins tolerate cleaner cuts that won’t chip, as well as being more flexible than natural stone. This composition allows for bending and shaping as necessary for sinks, islands, and unusual shapes, as well as a finished product with almost indiscernible seams.
